Did I hear you say "grifting and dishonest?"
Biden bribery
There is substantial, documented evidence—primarily from subpoenaed bank records released by the House Oversight Committee—that Biden family members (primarily Hunter Biden and James Biden, plus distributions to Hallie Biden and others) received over $20 million from foreign sources during Joe Biden's vice presidency (2009–2017) and shortly after, with most inflows occurring between 2014 and 2018.These payments came via wire transfers from entities in at least five foreign countries: Ukraine, China, Russia, Romania, and Kazakhstan. The records trace exact wires, recipients (e.g., Hunter's Owasco P.C., James's JBBSR LLC), and downstream distributions to family accounts.
Key Evidence and Breakdown by Country
The House Oversight Committee issued three "Bank Records Memorandums" (March, May, and August 2023) detailing over 150 suspicious activity reports (SARs) and dozens of verified wires totaling $20M from foreign actors. These were not estimates but direct bank data from institutions like JPMorgan and Wells Fargo.
Russia (Yelena Baturina): $3.5 million wired Feb 2014 to Hunter's Rosemont Seneca; ~$2.75M kept for Biden/Archer ventures.
Romania (Gabriel Popoviciu): ~$1 million (from $3M total, 2015–2017) distributed to Hunter, Hallie, etc., via associate Rob Walker.
Kazakhstan (Kenes Rakishev): $142,300 Apr 2014 to Hunter's entity; next day bought Hunter a Porsche.
9 Biden family members (including Hunter, James, Hallie, and grandchildren's trusts) received these funds via associates like Rob Walker.
Timeline Alignment with Joe's Roles
VP Years (2009–2017): ~95% of foreign money ($19M ) flowed in, peaking 2014–2017.
Post-VP/Pre-Presidency (2017–2020): Remaining ~$1M (e.g., final Burisma, CEFC).
Presidency (2021–2025): Minimal foreign inflows documented in these records. Hunter earned ~$1.5M from U.S. art sales (buyers undisclosed, some linked to Democrats), but no major foreign wires traced.
Wealth Impact
Pre-2009: Family modest (Joe's net worth ~$30k).
Post-Foreign Deals: Hunter earned $11M total (2013–2018) from foreign boards/work; James similarly via ventures. Lavish spending (e.g., $142k car) shows wealth surge, though Hunter later claimed bankruptcy amid taxes/legal fees.
Overall Family: Oversight estimates $27M total (foreign U.S.) to family/associates; enabled lifestyles beyond Joe's ~$10M book/speech income (post-2017).
Strength of Evidence
Pro: Irrefutable bank traces (wires match exactly); 150 SARs flagged as suspicious; witness testimony (e.g., Devon Archer confirmed deals). No denials of amounts.
